37 Days Until Bataan...18 Mile Training Ruck Tomorrow...I'm Jacked Up...

Saturday morning Heather, Brandon, Mike, and myself will tackle an 18 mile training ruck on the course outlined in red over on the left. We have attempted to find the most "hilly" terrain that is available in our neck of the woods. If you have ever been to the Kendalia area here in Texas, then you know that there are some hills there. In planning for the Bataan Training, I used Google Earth to find the most significant upward elevation changes in our part of the state. This route was about the best I could find. Everyone I talked to and read about that  had success at The Bataan Memorial Death March said to "use the hills". Here in my part of Texas we don't really have any mountains, so the Glorious Texas Hill Country will have to do. 


Our training team will meet at Comal Crossfit at 0700, drive to the route, cache some fluid, then get it on. Hopefully I can talk Heather in to taking a few pictures, and I will post them along with a report on Sunday.

Spring Break: South Padre Island, Texas

The Advocare 24 Day Challenge is going extremely well. I'm feeling good, losing weight, and losing inches. Heck if it keeps going this good, I may very well get all ripped up, and me and the ol' lady  might go down to South Padre for spring break.


On second thought, I love the "Arena of Life", but you couldn't pay my old butt enough to get in the middle of all that wildness.
